An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 252 m/s when the speed of the air below the wing is 228 m/s. The density of the air is 1.29 kg/m3. What is the lifting force on a wing of area 26.0 m2?

Solution

P1 + 1/2 rho v1^2 = P2 + 1.2 rho v2^2

P1 -P2 = (1/2) rho (v2^2-v1^2)
= (1/2) (1.29)(252^2-228^2)

multiply that by 26.02

=193339.008
